coeenwood Avenue Items.


Greenwood Avenue is rapidly be-
coming a-aaaaing thoroughiare OF our
city. 1t is used more than any other
by pedestrians and the more fortunate
who have pleasure conyeyances, who
take recreation at all seasons, but more
especially in good weather. 1t affords
a longer and better drive than can be
found in any other direction from the
center ofthe city without having to pay
extra in the shape OF toll, besides being
the direct route to'that beautiful resort,
Greenwood Cemetery, where so many
who have died in our city and vicinity
have found last resting place. il
The vacant land lying on and adjacent
to this street is the most desirable to be
found, and better located. than those OF
any other suburb to our already -four
ishing city. We are also Of the opinion
that an extension of the street-car line
out to the Cemetery would prove pay
ing investment. The Sunday travel,
we believe, would pay the weekly ex-
pense. During the pretty weather OF
Spring, Summer and Fall, the large
number of persons visiting the Gene
taly, besides the patronage those liyr
ing on the proposed line, and its con-
struction thereby offering such an in
cent;ve to many others to buy and To-
cate there, would all together make this
one of the most desirable and paying
portions of the car lines. Still another
reason why we think so favorably OF
that section is improvements of every
kind in the way of building can reach
out a greater distance than in other di-
rections, and at the same time secure
more eligible sites for suburban homes.
Several persons who are large lot own
ers out that way, should consider the
advantages which would accrue, and
put their lands upon the market at q
reasonable figure. v
We are panied to chronicle the fact
that our friend and neighbor, DIR. j. M
Larkins is in such feeble health. but
are glad to state that he is still able tC
attend to any patients who may call al
his home and Office. The public viii
join us in saying thatit is calamity fol
such grand old Humanitarian, who
has spent the best years OF his usefu
life in alternating and curing the "ill'
to which flesh is heir" to be victim
of disease himself. When he is finall,
forced to retire altogether, the PROBES
sion will lose one OF its best and mos
honored members.
1t affords us pleasure to note that th,
family Of Mr.. William Orrell, in which
there has been so much and varied al
Fiction for long time, is now nearl,
restored to health. 4,
Mr.. Stone, who recently occupie,
what is known as the King place, ha
removed to the late DIR. Taylor's resi-
dence on College street.
j. l.. Grant has sold his interest il
the grocery business to d. Mac. Neblet
and resumed his old position in tn
CHRONICLE job rooms. Mac will cor
tinue the business, at the same stanG
and we bespeak for him liberal trad
for he is worthy of it.
Some three or four members of MI
James Phipps' family have had measle
but are now convalescent.
DR.. VIM. M. Finley, of Lebanon, for
merly a prominent physician of Clarke
vile, has been visiting his niece, Mrs
R. E. McCulloch, this week.
The clever denizens OF that Avenu
spent the Christmas holidays quiet
and all who were able, enjoyed a dis
of the time-honored turkey. SAINT
Claus, we are gratified to say, visite
the children, and the poor were not fo
gotten. b.
Tell Capt. John Shelton to hurry U
and extend has railroad out throug
this portion of the Lords Vineyard.
II he will, we will, by your permissio
write him up every week, besides ever
other itemsthat may occur of interes
